- if you appreciate my work please leave a comment or recommend my video to any new fans. This is a 10 Part, full-on look at Bjork's almost 40 year contribution to music. It's really been a long time since I've listened to any of her music, so editing this gave me a great excuse. It was strange at first not hearing her for so long, her voice is almost abrasive compared to many other female singers. It takes a little time to get used to her, but It didn't take long to realize what I liked about her. I got hooked on her voice again and get sucked right back into her music world.

How do I find myself down thr rabbithole of Bjork interviews at 5:00 a.m. on a Wed morning? I don't know but I'm all in! She is absolutely magical to listen to and observe
Her music helps me with my PTSD she's one of the reasons why I'm still alive
Bro you good?
Don't give others so much power.
same, she saved me
You can find that with Jesus. Love to you and I pray His Majesty shows you! Read The Word.
Brother man, there's plenty reasons to be alive - fancy You found This One! Great choice!
Take care. Before You give up on humanity, know that somebody somewhere thinks of you now. Me!
At 17, Bjork still looked 9 years old.
Well done ! My wife doesn't get the whole Bjork thing. Man, I did. Still do. Summer 2020. Thanks!
My wife and I have a mutual....like 👍 for bjork....she gets it
I might be starting to get it now too. October 2020
Oh she gets it.
You can't not get björk
Maybe she is jealous which is understandable if you talk about her with awe. Make your wife feel like she's a Bjork to you
@@KimberleyBianca jealous is fiercely protective and vigilant over people's rights and possessions so.
Utterly captivating as a child, young girl, woman ...how lucky are we to live at a time when she has produced such innovative music ....
I just fell in love with her again
@Rory O'Donnell what
One of the greatest voices of all time. The best thing to ever come out of Iceland. Talent and beauty all around.
authentic, and unpretentious! Bruce Lee would say; "actualize your self", that's Björk!!
I love this woman as much as a complete stranger can love another. She sings like she invented the practice.
I did not know her career was this long. It's wild to see her as a child singer or in an a proper post punk group. Great video!
I saw The Sugarcubes live in Alabama on MTV late one night in around 1988. I felt like everything I ever knew about music was changing right before my eyes. I tried to explain this other-worldly performance to friends and family but there were no formulations of words that could describe it. It was kind of frustrating like trying to describe your first kiss. All I could say was "just wait, you'll see her, I promise. Remember her name, . . . It's Bjork". Your documentary is a monumental tribute to a monumental talent. Such a gift. Thank you so much.
I was living in AL in 1988 and we couldn't even get cable! Just kidding. Cable came in 1987 : ))_))
your comment makes me wanna.....😭
There’s a great video on CZcams of that whole concert at Auburn, if you haven’t seen it already.
I was so fortunate to see the Sugarcubes perform live in a hotel ballroom in Arizona for about 200 people. Björk waved to each of us personally, and I melted when I got mine. Her albums are some of my most cherished.
I was huge Sugar Cube fan when they played Auburn,I couldn't be there but I did record it on stereo VHS! I still have it.....possibly I could make a DVD copy.
When she's singing in the choir as a very tiny child she's really connecting with the music. You sometimes see this with kids. Its a really lovely thing to see and it shows real musical talent.
Bjork is a once in a lifetime experience - we're close in age and, yet, I cannot think of a time in my life that isn't punctuated by a song with her voice. She is amazing.
I kind of understand the people who has gone crazy with her over the years. It would be so easy for anyone to get obsessed with such a beautiful person on the inside and the outside. Such a defined and cristaly clean personality.
Akymma Yeah I agree. I still don't understand why and how anyone develops murderous impulses against their favorite musician, though. You are supposed to love them respectfully and admire them shyly. 🙁
Aye like Ricardo Lopez.
@@valerievanmol276 Sometimes people mix up admiration with devotion and from devotion to obsession there's just a small step.
A dope head.
The “people?” Who else do we know went crazy besides Lopez?
I still remember my first time hearing the Sugarcubes, and shortly after, seeing them in action.Trying to picture the being that voice comes from is difficult, but again, I remember thinking that she was perfect.NO ONE else could do what she does,- and who can claim that? WHO is so perfectly and wholly themselves?
The human race produces few such singular people; people so necessary, so needed. What a remarkable thing to happen.
I feel sorry for the people who can't resonate with the musical, creative genius of Bjork. She truly is one of a kind! #goddess
her music literally sound like it’s from another planet. i feel like i’m not supposed to be listening to it. Björk will always be my favorite female recording artist ever.
She's as wild as the Icelandic landscape. I like her occasionally Cockney accent.
This beautiful human is way too precious for this world!!!!!
was'nt she a cute baby??......don't u just wanna die?!!
Bjork has been my favorite musical artist since I 1st heard her voice as a 12 year old kid
"No trees at all on Iseland" but she is named after a tree 🌳 , it was the price they payed.
- you will have no trees but you will have Björk. - God
Blasphemy. Repent if you know the Lord. If not, find him.
yet she says "Deus dont exist"
Torrence Johnson Björk IS god
Elliot millward
😂
Ha!
Any time that i hear her voice...
I know, who I am listening to.
This video contents very rare things about Björk, for example videos from her childness and videos of making Gling Gló. This is a very important video!
Bokenyi Sicario I miss the good old days of my childness.
childness=childhood
The last 3 minutes of interview of this documentary are just the most thoughtful insight that I have ever heard from an artist ... Thank you Bjork for taking the wonderful decision of sharing your musical genius with the world, so we can enjoy of your creativity when WE have our own cravings!
Yes, that struck me as well....
when bjork was singing that traditional song in icelandic i cried, so beautiful
I was laughing at you until it put a lump in my throat
Beautiful
@Rory O'Donnell Says the person going to Bjork videos and replying to everyone about how much he hates her
she sounds like Hafthor Bjournson
Has anyone like watched this recently? Just don't get it, every comment is 6 months to 2 years ago! Why aren't folks coming back again and again to see this amazing video? Are the comments deleted?
First found Bjork back in the 80's, had a musical epiphany that's lasted a lifetime. Different generation now, "who's Bjork", or worse, "that's weird". Not much interest in what one could call "avant-garde". But she can still pack a stadium so it won't disappear, that's not possible.
I started to appreciate her just this late March. I was kind of avoiding her when comparisons were drawn between her and my favorite artists like Lorde, sonically. Interviews were popping up on my YouTuve recommendations; the first one being the TV interview. Then, a few songs. What made me start listening to her was when Spotify, along with Grimes, released a playlist called "Ethereal", and one of the songs there was Hyper-ballad. At first listen, I was blown away by how raw the emotions were with her awesome voice, but especially, because of how it sounded familiar. It astounded me how that song was from the 90s, but it felt like I was just listening to the usual songs I've been listening to in the 2010s. Now I'm here appreciating all her work and getting to know her, and maybe honor her too.
Björk is definitely not going to be forgotten.
Just learned about her and I've fell in love with her
I'm watching it now
@@dinamita2870 Glad to see you are!
Artists (mostly female) still cite her as an inspiration today, and this (or my) generation still find her cool as well, both musically and as a person.
Icelandic is one of the most poetic and beautiful languages. I’ve been to Iceland over 10 times; never failed to move me, the community and people and fierce loving attitudes.
Have always admired the work of Bjork but the traditional Icelandic song (shown at 11:44 in the video) gave me goose bumps. She is one of the rarest creative people, I think she is touched by an 'angel' and I hope she always stays true to her beliefs. Wonderful lady and wonderful video. Thank you.
@Rory O'Donnell especially when she went berserk and attacked that reporter. What an asshole.
Well she feels very bad about that time she was 10 year old, and dident stay true, and got a gold record. So I imagine it is likly she will keep it real.
Well, we come to create the björk religion, i am believer xd
iceland people had a revolution in about 2012 they took back the power from the bankers and politicians that wanted to bankrupt the island. know one talks about this important event i wonder why...
Another fact is that soldiers are not allowed to vote i wonder why? maybe because they would be a threat to the nwo?
it's the reverb, isn't it?
The first time I heard her sing...I cried uncontrollably watching mtv in the 80s. In fact no other singer has made me cry. Except her...why is her voice so intoxicating to me. No artist has ever had a spell on me.
Michael lloyd Do you remember which song it was?
Impossible not to fall in love with her. That incredible, striking, beautiful face and her eyes, she just makes me melt. And of course her voice is just magical. Such a unique individual.
Wondreful! Really well done. Cant wait to watch the rest of them!
One of the more better interviews of bjork I have seen. She's so very real.
but Bjork... you didn't just inspire your country! You inspired the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and Richard have created another consciousness! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! To be apart of your world is so overwhelming! I want to live in your world permanently!
She’s strikingly beautiful inside and out , artistically and physically.
She is so unique... And so beautiful... I love everything about her❤❤❤
I could listen to Bjork talk forever
Same
She no longer has to worry about Iceland having its own music, for Fire Saga now rules the world.
I think I've never heard her before. I was just watching a video talking about weird musicians from the past and somehow they compared to her nowadays. So I've decided to take a look. After some videos this one came out. And it's amazing. It's amazing her connection to her place, to her nature. And it's amazing how apart it is from me, which was born and raised in Brazil, and how close it is at the same time. Her voice is amazing. Her songs touch me somehow. I guess it touches the universal and human part of my soul. And I like it. Very good video made about a very very special human being. Now I think I feel compelled to learn and hear more about her. And I'll let me flow along with this river, in the middle of this see full of beautiful landscapes and icebergs
Beautifully said!
Wow, you worked really hard on this! Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated and sharing with every Bjork fan I know
"worked"??? other people shot this footage then this person stole it.
@@BurningtunaDC go play your cello no one cares
She in my mind has kept an Icelandic sense in her music. I’ve always liked Hunter. From the first time I heard it and felt it sounded like an Icelandic folk/classical sound. I often pull out a strong Icelandic vibe in her music. I think underneath it all she’s a firm patriot of her mother country. I think it gives her the uniqueness of everything in her music.
At 32:03 when she said "rrruuurrral rrraw nature," I think she got me pregnant.
You whould know if you were pregnant...
She overdoes her icelandic pronounciation. She can speak with a better accent but somehow she often does this in interviews.
Jeez, same
Guys!!!! do You know where parts 2-8 are? can't seem to find them
I'm birthing her child proudly.
Just came back from Iceland, and my heart is filled with so much joy from that Place. Thanks for this video!
I returned from there last week. I will go back and for longer. I fell completely in love with Iceland. It may sound silly, but listening to Björk whilst exploring the natural beauty of Iceland was a magical experience I won’t soon forget.
Wonderful video :) the Jazz interlude between the Sugarcubes and her solo career's a revelation. Her Icelandic childhood sounds beautiful and I'm jealous of her love of the land and those she grew up with which she articulates so well.
Her voice gives me goosebumps.
Fame is not achieved by your performance or talent ability but by how many people appreciate your work and enjoy watching you do what you do, you know? That was unavoidable and beyond your control so long as you continue to sing from your heart and personal experience.
Her face hasn't changed much since age 5.
Daniel Lee I was thinking the same thing
@@rgs6236
Me too she's so nice
Nor her voice...
Her face looks like mongol or Turkic?
@@AntonNb Saami or Inuit. The features you observe are age-old Paleolithic relicts from the period before Caucasians and East Asians diverged.
She was born and has remained incredibly adorable. I do not believe that will ever change.
I just love her voice. She should do an audio book.
I've a grand amount of respect for this lady. Just some one who loves music and is true to it. Pure, simple
@Rory O'Donnell so lmao
nobody gives a fuck. pure, simple.
What a fantastic series of videos! Thank you very much for putting them all together!
Massive fan of Bjork, all her work is amazing. I didn't know about her film role (Dancer In The Dark) so I'll need to check that out. I've been to Iceland, I think five times, but I long to go back again. When I walk out of Keflavík Airport I'm overwhelmed with the feeling of being 'home'. Can't wait for this covid thing to pan out so I can go back again.
Great video, Bjorkocity. Really enjoyed it, thank you.
Good film. But very depressing. I think dancer in the dark is already 20 years old.
Great to hear Walkabout and the accompanying video's really great too.
No one, not one, musician is anything like Bjork, ever! Her voice owns my musical heart beat! ♥️
What an amazing life story, she is so special...
wonderful! i love bjork and many of the material included seems rare. i wonder how this documentary has so little visibility here, it's a precious source for her fans!
Wow, this is awesome. Some incredible footage I had no idea even existed. And a backstory I had no idea of. Thanks!
I think I can't stand to be looked by her eyes more than 5 seconds, and then I get lost in the infinite spaces of Iceland.
Oh, Gawd, her eyes are pure magic.
This is phenomenal. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'm writing an essay on her life for my "Written expression 4" class and this video has been heaven sent. I'm 26 as well and her last interview really stuck with me, I wonder what I'll become by the time part 2 comes out for us 💖🌟
I adore my brilliant Bjork b/c I am Icelandic 100%, she is unreal & has been copied so many artists which is what they all do. She put Iceland 🇮🇸 on the map of the World & people love her everywhere, I have 2 names & 2 passports since I moved to USA only BC of my mother re- marrying & that has been such a gift & also curse. I may move home soon. Love to Bjork for all she did & music is so much in the Icelandic scene. Sadly Pandemic really hurt their economy but I hope the World will get over their fear getting vaccinated or many will die & it will change life 4-ever. Love to those who love her! E. Alfredsdottir 😎❤️🇮🇸❤️👈‼️👋✌️👈.
This is excellently put together. Thank you so much for this
I. Was crazy about her voice from the first time I heard her
Thank you for putting this together
This is awesome. So excited to watch the rest.
One of the greatest Artists since 30 years, when I wasn't born… The first time when I heard her voice, was in Leon the professionell early 2010 by A schoolfriend… Epic Person
What a great job you did putting this together. Well done and ThAnK YUO!!!! ;)
The Sugar Cubes. Byork's voice is so sweet and natural. and passionate! From Iceland! Such a small community.
I am from the UK. How can I understand the nature of Icelanders? The culture, the nature, the lansdscape, the
history of Iceland? I can't get enough of that. You have fairy's, Elves, Pixies! Byork expessed all that! And she still does!
Wow this artist has so many awards and today I saw and heard from her name for the first time by chance.
Thank you for putting this together. I was a Bjork fanatic as soon as I heard the Sugarcubes and thought that I had seen everything out there but you included some footage I hadn't.
Just an amazing woman. There are so many layers and yet, she hates to be peeled. Tremendous arrangements and such a distinct voice. Though I never really bought her albums or watched her videos, I find her to be extremely gifted. Artistry comes in so many different forms and music is just one of many. What she does is not really music; it's like a cacophony of different sounds and so many non traditional, pop musical instruments. Yes, she has an attitude. The video of her attacking that female reporter in Thailand; that's Bjork. It balances her innocent looking face when she's behind a microphone. That is her true legacy. Her talent was WAY ahead of it's time. Probably one of the most interesting and fascinating artist's to have ever walked this Earth. I respect her.
17:38 who would have guessed that this child looking like young woman had her own child and was a mother at this point of her life...woow
great video... bjork's really special..mabuhay bjork
This Doc is Brilliant...One of a Kind...Thank you...
That clip of Björk singing Visur Vatnsenda-Rósu about 11 minutes in is pure magic!
Björk vocal cords are truly worth gold.
I Love Bojork so much.what a beautiful perfect person
@ 22:00 "Birthday" was the first time I'd ever heard Bjork sing - and i was hooked.
So nice this intro. She is so extraordinary, cute and beautiful. Thanks very much for uploaded it ❤️
Thom Yorke describing Bjork is the best thing I've ever heard. Also Bjork is the first person to get me to listen to a complete album without knowing one lyric (except for Can't help loving that man of mine) what an amazing being. Still not 100% she's human.
Wonderful collection thank you for putting this video together ,,lovely
Thanks, I loved this video. So strange to hear her tiny voice as a child, and how in a sense that never left her.
6:26 You can hear her promise as a singer in that excerpt from "Fool on the Hill", where she also played flute and recorder I believe. Even in the other songs, although some of them are rather twee, you know that you're in the hands of an instinctive performer with great musical gifts.
Thank You, Björk, for sharing so much of Yourself with us, the people who cherishes, craves, admires and treasures all of Your Art.
She seems the most lovable creature I have come across
Fascinating comments from Bjork from 31.30 onwards, especially when talks about how she walks and makes music. Exceptional young woman.
💭 .. Hi, I'm a very late comer to Bjork's music 🎶, though not to aspects of Icelandic history and culture, so found this to be a compelling and well constructed introduction to her 🤔 Thanks
She's so well spoken and extremely intelligent. Not surprised... was just unaware. This is going to make me download her discography. Thanks for this.
Just started getting into bjork and gotta say thanks for this informative documentary.
Best documentary I've seen about Björk !
listening to all of this makes me want to try and give something back give this some words that would actually compliment this incredibleness, it seems to me tried intense talent, intelligence, which has produced a spirit housed in human shell uncontainable. thank you for being able to share though your destined to be sent the messenger of the one source of all things. In the practice of stare gazing your like what i would imagine gazing at a supernova up close. thank you
This is amazing, thank you!
bravo !!
great video, she's amazing
I can tell just from the way she speaks, she's deeply spiritual.
I couldn't imagine what it would be like to grow up in a place so isolated, so homogeneous and so culturally unique. It's not really european or north american and were cut off from the rest of the world for a long time and the self sufficiency must of imbued a deep sense of independence and pride. Bjork's music is so unique and different than anything else and I'm sure growing up in Iceland contributed greatly to that uniqueness. Even when her music is dark it is never depressing or sad to me and I think that accurately reflects a culture that despite winters that are brutally cold and dark for months on end are in general a happy, healthy and successful people. They are used to the darkness and persevere.
Great watch this, good balance, very enjoyable..great job
WOW that was revelatory. I want her for a friend. Thanks for this great video.
Wow. So much fascinating footage. Wow. Most insightful.
Loved the recording footage
Very beautifully done
I love her even at 11 with covers and 14 with her band and I don't why I've never seen it before!
Bjork is soooo underated it ridiculous , she is effortlessly art n music, passion n creative , ...yep.her voice is just awsome , n atractive , n the rythm is magbetic....yep thats it.
This is just a fantastic piece of work you edited here together... i am deeply impressed! THANK YOU. Is there a way to get all the other parts you made? it seems like most of them got blocked here on youtube due to copyright claims... if theres a small chance that you read this comment, i would be the happiest person if you could send me a message :)
